Author's Note: This is less of a story, and more of a service for storing ideas that could be made into a story but are abandoned by their original creators for some reason. If you want to adopt (yay!) or drop off (awww!) a plotbunny just say so in the reviews. If you are dropping off a plotbunny, post a brief description of it in the drop-off review. If you adopt a plotbunny, please say who originally came up with it and where you found it (the EgotisticalIndustries Plotbunny Adoption Service) in the disclaimer. Don't let plotbunnies die needlessly! (updated daily, if I fail to update it I'm either sick, dead, or in jail on false pretenses.) If you want to start your own branch for a different fandom, go right ahead.
Mass Effect General Plotbunnies: 3
Huh... what's this?: While on Noveria, Shepard's squad winds up 'acquiring' a batch of prototype laser guns (remember, those are kinetic barriers). what happens next? [dropped off by: EgotisticalIndustries] [not adopted yet]
AU Where Normandy is destroyed in Sovereign's escape from Eden Prime. With Shepard dead and a Cerberus that has no reason to revive them, there is nothing left to do but watch a galaxy slowly destroy itself before the reapers even arrive. [dropped off by: SoMuchGerry] [not adopted yet]
Difficulty: Above Average, requires originality and straying off canon. When Shepard is reunited with Liara on Illium, she gets the shock of a lifetime! "Shepard, I'd like you to meet our daughter." How will the future of the ME universe change with the Commander as a parent?

Commander Shepard's new friend is actually an assassin with a secret mission. To kill the Commander. Will Shepard see him coming? Will Shepard survive? Or will the assassin give up his mission? [dropped off by: ultimate idiot] [not adopted yet]
Mass Effect Alternate Council Plotbunnies: 1
Alternate Council 1: In this timeline the Salarians failed to find the Krogan during the Rachni Wars, and in desperation the Council commissioned the Quarians to create the Geth. [Dropped off by: EgotisticalIndustries] [not adopted yet]
Mass Effect Alternate Shepard Plotbunnies: 1
Alternate Shepard 1: We all know history works in weird ways... what would happen if Shepard were a Cerberus-produced combat android?
[dropped off by: EgotisticalIndustries] [not adopted yet]
Mass Effect Alternate Humanity Plotbunnies: 3
Divergence 1970: Instead of letting the space program burn out for 50 years with the end of the Apollo program, the anti-nuclear activists are forced to shut up by a corporation going "There's a chance to become a country on that Moon, and we're going to take it!" This is followed by discovering the Alcubierre warp drive instead of eezo, and shenanigans such as making nuclear missiles THAT CAN BE FIRED OUT OF A MASS ACCELERATOR!
LASER SPAM!: Sometime before 1st contact a bunch of human space pirates bully some engineers into replacing the spinal mount of their frigate with a massively up-scaled GARDIAN laser. They wind up crippling a Dreadnought. The idea catches on. [dropped off by: EgotisticalIndustries]
[not adopted yet]
alternate humanity with overarching one world government. Humans are little more than slaves of the government. But there are some who would destroy the government. [more details please] [dropped off by: ultimate idiot] [not adopted yet]
Mass Effect Total AU plotbunnies: 3
Idea 1 (Hard to use, extremely AU):
Protheans were able to make the crucible and fire it destroying the reapers, the mass relay system and the citadel and they fought each other to extinction, 50,000 years after that the races rise from their respective planets and progress much more slower before developing much faster FTL drives (Wormholes?, "Jump Drive"(mass relays adapted inside a ship)?,Alcubierre drive?, hyperspace?) The reaper destroying pulse also destroys prothean beacons which leaves races on their own to develop their own technology based on eezo (Thessia is eezo rich so it is possible that asari would have develop their own eezo based technology) or whatever they had at their disposal. [dropped off by: covviz] [not adopted yet]
The humans accidentally exterminate the quarians. oops. [dropped off by: ultimate idiot] [not adopted yet]
Alternate Humanity/Alternate Universe: Under a Technological Singularity, mankind develops ever faster, and their technology grows by leaps and bounds. As they progress, their technology grows even more advanced. They discover an intact Prothean Beacon, learning about the Reapers. To prepare, they begin a wave of constant expansion, finding and uplifting several races, such as the Salarians, along the way. Think Forerunners, but with human society. From the Beacon, they find that they have 'only' 7000 years before the next Harvest... [dropped off by: A Guest calling himself Admiral Red] [not adopted yet]
Mass Effect Crossover Plotbunnies: 1
Ghost busters... IN SPACE: How would humanity from ghost busters work when they made it into space? They'd probably weird the Council out REALLY HARD with all the creepy stuff that happens when enough humans end up in one place. [Dropped off by: EgotisticalIndustries] [not adopted yet]
